There are three ants on different vertices of a triangle. What is the probability of collision (between any two or all of them) if they start walking on the sides of the triangle?
Similarly find the probability of collision with ‘n’ ants on an ‘n’ vertex polygon.

My initial thoughts:
For each single ant, it can move towards two directions. Denote them as 0 or 1. If two ants are moving towards two different directions (clockwise and counter-clockwise), they will eventually meet. Therefore the only case for not having a collision is 0, 0, 0 for the three ants. There are possible combination of directions. Hence probability to have a collision.
For general case, it’s .

Solution:
I forgot the case 1, 1, 1, which can also avoid collision. Therefore, for three ants, it’s and in general, it’s .
